Nebbiolo is known as a very difficult grape, but Ridgepoint has done an admirable job. The wine is a beautiful deep burgundy colour, has decent legs and has the body of a pinot. But the most noticeable is the floral tones. The violet is immediate on the nose and follows to the mouth. A nice long finish.
I understand Ridgepoint have limited Nebbiolo vines. Lets hope the weather cooperates and they have some decent crops. Apparently Ridgepoint wants to make a name for themselves with Nebbiolo. They may very well do it if they can stay on this track.
